Australian "Porn Banker" Keeps His Job

[Chipperz]

Thank god for that.

Beautiful to see folks coming together to aid the poor sod, it's the kind of thing you pray happens to you when the shit hits the fan. Dave must have extraordinarily good karma....

Good karma like giving at least 225,000 people something to brighten their day karma? Say what you want about Dave or what he was doing, every time I see that video I laugh.

Just as long as he's doing his job when he needs to be doing it. That's all I care about.

 

[chronobreak]

I'm glad he didn't get fired. He was watching porn, its nothing to get fired over.

Besides, we all know that EVERYONE watches it, those hypocrites.

Well, I don't watch it, and my wife doesn't either. I would also assume if I were caught looking at pornography at my job, I would be swiftly fired, and I don't do anything near as important as working at a bank.

However, I suppose he is a private advisor, so who knows, he could have lost some clients over this.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

I guess they get that people look at porn in the work place. it's just one of those things. I'm glad this guy gets to keep his job, he didn't do anything that bad.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Well good for this guy..he was just an unlucky man who was shown getting a jolly at a naked woman. He shouldn't be fired from his job for it. Now if he was married that would be a different story

 

[tkioz]

Every time I see the video I laugh a little, at least now that we know he's keeping his job I wont feel guilty about laughing, I honestly felt bad for him, I mean everyone who has ever worked an office job has got an email or something with a bit of NSFW stuff in it sometime.

Hell my boss use to send me some pretty nasty stuff, and she always claimed to be keeping the truly horrible stuff back.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Well, he still probably shouldn't be looking at such things during work. Still nice to hear he will keep his job.

dammit why isnt there a block!? im pissed because the block at school is seriously strict.

I feel your pain, every sight I wanted to go to was blocked (amusingly there have been situations where a teacher had been denied access to something educational because of, wait for it, "sex ed") though I did find a computer immune to the blocks

 

[Irridium]

Well thats nice to hear.

After all, I'm sure he wasn't the first person to look up porn while at work...

 

[Dogstile]

I'm glad he wasn't fired. That explains how it was so perfectly timed.

 

[chronobreak]

Mah, lighten up. You two might not but fuck, ALOT of others do And shit, nothing wrong with satisfying the urge that nature gave us ;D And best of all! I got myself a good laugh from all this

It isn't like I condemned anybody for watching or enjoying it. I just feel things like that are not appropriate for the workplace, unless of course you are a director or actor in the porn genre. That being said, yes, it was funny and all. Hope no kids saw it, but then again, I could barely make out what it was watching it on my computer, and I don't think kids watch the news anyways. I wouldn't know, I'm not hip.

Not anymore, I'd say he just about used most of it up.

 

[reciprocal]

I'm sure that the 30 seconds he spent flipping through 4 suggestive images can be made up by the hundreds (or thousands) of overtime hours he'll have to do in this financially-uncertain year.

Or perhaps you'd rather people don't get to have mental breaks at work?

Now if he started unfastening his pants... well... that would be a different story altogether.

Also, any news that celebrates a victory for common sense IS NEWSWORTHY as there seems to be a distinct lack of that nowadays.

The effort received a big push when Kerr, the model Kiely was eyeballing, offered her support. "I am told there is a petition to save his job and of course I would sign it," she said.

Can I just say I often look at pictures of Kylie Minogue? So, if you're listening...

 

[JaredXE]

Was Miranda Kerr even naked in those pics? A quick google search turns up no nekkidness on her part......dammit.

 

[internetzealot1]

Now that vid is legendary, and the guy gets to keep his job. Win for all!

 

[Andronicus]

Haha I'm glad he was able to keep his job. We all have our own methods of relaxing ;D Like this guy


Hahaha the funny things people do at work to take away some of the stress shouldn't be discouraged It should be encouraged. We're all people, all humans, nothing wrong with that right

Haha, that video made my day. It's the sort of thing I'd do if I was bored and had a mic in front of me.

Great to hear he keeps his job. If it was me though, I'd walk around the office for the rest of the year with my cheeks in a constant state of bright red. I'd probably quit anyway, because I'd be too embarrassed to so much as look someone else in the eye.
